The breed has a very friendly nature and can make an excellent hunting dog or house pet. The breed does, however, need plenty of exercise. The breed needs regular access to areas where it can be active, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. The breed can do well in competition; however some activities such as flyball may be more difficult for the Deerhound as they are easier for smaller dogs with a shorter stride.
